FIRSTS
First Job: After-school job at Woolworths from October to Christmas; I'm not a people person, and I hated it.
First Favorite Politician: Dwight Eisenhower, just because my parents loved him.
First Record/CD: Probably Jailhouse Rock, by Elvis.
First Sport Played: I hate sports because I'm terrible at them. Nobody ever wanted me on their team.
First Concert: Peter, Paul, and Mary
First Foreign Country Visited: Mexico
First Favorite TV Show: My Little Margie
First Favorite Actor: Roy Rogers
First Favorite Actress: Lucille Ball
First Girlfriend/Boyfriend: I only had one boyfriend before Cliff, and I'm just glad I ended up with Cliff.
First Encounter with a Famous Person: We had our picture taken with President Jimmy Carter and his wife in Plains, Georgia... is that really an encounter? Probably not.
First House/Condo Owned: An old four-room house on 20 acres about 25 miles from where we now live. We bought it in 1967.
First Film Seen: My mother used to take me to movies as a child, and the first one would probably have either been Ma and Pa Kettle or Abbot and Costello.
First Favorite Radio Station: WHB from Kansas City.
First Book I Remember Reading: I'm sure the first book I remember reading was a little book of nursery rhymes. The first chapter book I remember was The Bobbsey Twins.
My mom has always talked about growing up with Elvis music. That must have been so much fun. He was so talented. I still love his voice. Loved your answers! Have a nice day.

The Bobbsey Twins & also Nancy Drew... my nose was in one or the other all the while I was growing up. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh! The Bobbsey Twins. I forgot about the Bobbsey Twins. I read all of those books.
ReplyDeleteWhen Eisenhower was running for president I was probably the only kid on my school who did NOT have an "I like Ike" button...my parents were for Stevenson.
I can't remember my firsts but do know that I loved Nancy Drew and Anne of Green Gables.
ReplyDeleteNursery Rhymes. Forgot about those. I think a picture with the Carters counts big time.
ReplyDeleteI call taking a photo with President and Mrs. Carter an encounter, most definitely.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an encounter.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Bobbsey Twins' series, too! I can identify with what you said about sports; I'm the girl who was always chosen last when they picked sides.
ReplyDeleteI got a question right on JEOPARDY because I used to watch Roy Rogers!
